A perfect end to an amazing meal! I can't say enough good things about this place! thank you! and I can't wait to come back for dinner!“

“Great food and great service! Bartenders make a great sangria 🙌🏻“

“Amazing food and terrific customer service ❤️“

“Food and service are always wonderful. One of my favorite breakfast spots. The food is always consistently great and the staff is efficient and professional. They always make sure your coffee is full and take care of any issues quickly and make sure they can accommodate any customers that come in. My son is in love with their chocolate chip pancakes! They also make amazing breakfast sandwiches and my favorite is their eggs bennidict.

If you haven't been here for breakfast (or lunch) you're missing out!!“

“We were in town in business and decided to give 36 Town Grill & Tap a try one night for dinner. We loved it so much that we went back again the very next night, and if we were staying in town longer I’m sure we’d be back several more times. The food was delicious, prices fair, and portions are generous. What made the whole experience even better was our AMAZING server, Leslie. Give this woman a raise! She’s a powerhouse! ❤️“

“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t just another stop. This was a return. Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t just close… it was comfort. So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started. I parked the car. Looked at my old house. And I walked… just like I used to… straight to Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment. The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle. --- 2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest. --- The Atmosphere & Service This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spot—not because it’s fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me. The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming. And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s Pizza Plus. Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you. And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo“

“Engine No.6 Pizza Company where do I start! Not only is the pizza addicting but you guys go above and beyond for your customers! Some restaurants you can tell just want to take your money and are annoyed at small request made by customers but Engine 6 is not like this you guys come through for me on more than one occasion and I’m forever grateful. Thank You for being amazing!!“

“Delicious brick oven pizza, crispy crust, fresh toppings, great service! Love the environment, all of their menu is great.“

“Had dinner at the Harp & Dragon after visiting a convention at Mohega Sun. It was very comfortable, plenty of seating. The service was fantastic and friendly. Had the fish and chips, and it was some of the best I've had in a long time. There was malt vinegar at the table which was a nice touch. Good portions and very reasonably priced. I only on street parking but I suspect there was a public parking lot nearby. Would go back again.“

“This is a street side shack, no ambiance but the food was delicious, fish, calamari, clam bites, shrimp, onion rings and fresh made delicious Cole slaw. Caitlin was super nice, made suggestions and we were delighted. Although I didn’t love the New England clam chowder or lobster bisque, my husband did!“
